Deontay Wilder vs Gerald Washington Feb. 25

[Memphis]

AJ has fought worse so can not be too critical.

Fought worse as a champion? I dont think so, Washington Breazeale Molina are all in the same second tier bracket. The difference is, after 2 relative gimmes, Joshua has moved onto Wladimir.


Havent seen an awful lot of Washington but he looks like he cant actually fight. Doesnt look like he hits too hard. Went life and death with Mansour so he's obviously brilliant. He'll hang around for a bit before getting in the way of one of Wilders helicopter propellers.

Washington looks credible on paper, decent win over Eddie Chambers

itd have been nice for wilder to fighter a bigger name but its not bad for a 4 week replacement

I hope wilder has a big fight next mind

[TitoFan]

BTW, Wilder will be 32 this year.

No big deal. Just mentioning it because I'd hate to hear 6-7 years from now:

"Ok..... NOW we're ready for a huge fight, or a unification battle, against an elite opponent."

[Fenster]

To be fair Wilder had his bags packed before that cheating cunt Povetkin got collared, but you are left wondering if he'll ever have a serious/massive fight.

He'll get chinned even at this level before long. When you see how AJ has dealt with the same competition, it's more a case of Wilder's limitations making them look good than Joshua being THAT good.

[El Kabong]

Wilder had a chance to be BIG TIME he really did, but he only looks spectacular when he has spectacular odds in his favor. I think Povetkin could have done him in roids or not, he's just a sharp boxer.

as Eric says, it's not a bad replacement. Makes me laugh when people criticize these guys as if they're a piece of shit . Whereas if this fellah was a Brit, he'd be the second coming of Christ! look at his record and tell me which Brits have better names on their CV's.
Fury before beating Wlad - NO . Had a World title shot.
Chisora - NO. well nobody that he's actually beaten. Had a World title shot.
Hughie Fury - NO. Being lined up for a World Title shot.
Dillian Whyte - NO. Being touted for a World title shot.
so before people say "He can't fight" or "He's an ex-tiddlywinks player", think about how you see the above names.

18-(12 KO)-0-1 is great....HE'S 34 FUCKING YEARS OLD!

That tells me if this guy was going to be somebody he would have done it by now.

I'm not saying he's gonna do anything. I'm not even saying he's any good. All I'm saying is a.) it's not the worst late replacement and b.) if he was a Brit , he would be (over) rated more so.

True if he was British he'd have more support on here.

I think Wlad would KO The Atomic Windmill, BUT......
I think AJ would smoke The Octopus @palmerq @mrbig1 @Batman @pacfan

I agree the atomic windmill is not going to unify a lot of belts but I like him he does seem to have a good take anyone on attitude, looks like his managers have other ideas though... I would like to see wilder take on whoever the wbo champion may be after this fight, wilder v fury jr or parker would be pretty fun and a close contest.. Let the winner of joshua/ wladimir real (-fury) title fight deal with king kong.

[Fenster]

Washington wouldn't be "the next coming" if a Brit. We have plenty of heavyweights/fighters with sexy records - Gary Cornish, Tom Dallas, Dave Allen, Larry OBoots etc - who are never seen as future world beaters, because the ultimate proof is seeing them fight not looking at records. The same goes for Washington - he's not bad but an obvious ex-American football player that came to boxing late.

British fighters like AJ and Price were decorated amateurs before turning pro. Guys like Chisora and Fury made their name by steadily having success as they moved up in class - area, continental, commonwealth, British, European - before proving themselves at world level. Whyte was a nobody but hit the jackpot by beating AJ in the amateurs, then put his money where his mouth is and made a name for himself.

On this forum only ross thinks Hughie Fury is the second coming.

[Master]

This will be on sky sports.

This looks a good sparko card on paper - Hurd-Harrison and Breazeale-Ugonoh look 50/50s. Quite fancy Harrison for the slight upset but know virtually nothing about Hurd apart from he looks massive at the weight.

Ugonoh is the weirdest looking Pole ever - Polish/Nigerian, had a load of fights in New Zealand yet lives in Las Vegas. Err.. what? Breazeale is a 2/1 dog.

Living on an island that isn't that racially diverse I still double take when I see black people with Scottish or Irish accents on TV.
